[ucc-announce] Announcing the Cameron Hall Charity Vigil

[Jen McCutcheon]

Hello everyone! (apologies if you get this multiple times.)

I am here to announce the seventh annual Cameron Hall Charity Vigil. Since 
last year's timing worked so well, this year we will be holding the vigil 
on the last friday before the study break (that's September 8th) through 
to the saturday (September 9th). We will be supporting the same charity as 
last year, the Stand By Me Youth Service, a local charity that provides a 
drop-in centre and many programs to support young people and disadvantaged 
youth. Last year we raised just over $1800 - let's see if we can top that 
this year.

To come along, you need to either

-get a sponsorship form from Unigames, UCC, UniSFA or UWAnime (they should 
be available this afternoon) and collect at least $8 sponsorship

OR (the wimp option)

-pay $10 at the door (of course more substantial donations are always 
welcome)

Of course the point is to raise money for charity, so you should all 
choose the first option. In addition, there will be a prize for the person 
who raises the most money for charity! (Note that anyone who sponsors 
themselves $8 for the purposes of saving themselves $2 will be subject to 
much scorn.)

We'd like to add in an additional plea here. Please try your hardest to 
raise as much sponsorship as possible. We really want to beat last year's 
total, and when you think about it, something like $20 is only $2 from 10 
people. And if you can get the first person to sponsor you $5, everyone 
else is likely to sponsor you $5 as well. :P

Activities during the night will include (subject to finalisation):

-Movies and Anime! Two screens of the best pop culture money can download 
or rent. Either in the UWAnime or UniSFA clubroom, depending on your 
choice of poison.
-LAN gaming! Bring your computer, LAN cable and headphone (these are very 
important) to the loft and join the fun. There will be a few guest boxes 
available if you find yourself computer-less on the night.
-Board games! If you suck at anything requiring skill, someone might bring 
Snakes And Ladders if you wish hard enough, and Unigames does have Hungry 
Hungry Hippos. Talisman and Settlers will also be available.
-Dungeon crawl! Like to beat things to death with an overpowered fighter, 
but don't want to spend hours on character creation? Unigames will be 
running one-off dungeon crawls for those who are interested.
-Food. And Drink. Entry includes pizza for dinner and pancakes for 
breakfast. The fridges and machines of all three clubs will also be open 
for business, with all profits going to charity. Tea, coffee and milo will 
also be available.

We would like to thank Madman Entertainment and the Co-op Bookshop for 
generously providing prizes for our raffle and for the person raising the 
most sponsorship.

Please remember that the Cameron Hall Charity Vigil is a strictly alcohol 
free, drug free and sleeping free event.

So, collect your sponsorship forms from this afternoon and start raising 
money!

See you there,

Vigil subcommittee
